Hi everyone, here is the new chapter! I must warn you, it's the previous chapter, but in Buttercup's point of view. Enjoy.
~Descendants of Love and Hate~ Chapter 5: Stalker~ Buttercup's POV~
Drip, drop, drip, drop… The sound echoed in my head as I looked outside my bedroom window. It was raining. Great… This means I have to "try" extra hard to get to school before my books and clothes were all wet, and I didn't really feel like I had the energy for that.
"Buttercup, wake up!" Blossom's voice pounded my ear drum. I moaned. Did I really have to? And why the heck can I hear her voice? Her room is on the other side of the mansion!
"Buttercup, if you don't Bubbles and I might leave you!" Damn it!
"Okay! I'm up." There was no way that I was going to walk alone in the rain. I quickly went to my bathroom and took a shower. I got my school clothes and my book bag and ran downstairs. "Good morning!" My sisters chimed together. I yawned.
I wouldn't exactly call it a Good morning.
"Morning." I said softly as I rubbed the slumber in my eyes. It wasn't an even week after I had had my date with Mitch… Why am I forced to go back to school? I sat down and started to eat the bowl of cereal that was in front of me.
"So, are you ready to see Mitch today?" Bubbles smiled brightly. I chewed slowly while glaring at her. Didn't she know that I wasn't interested in Mitch? For a girl so obsessed with the small thought of love, she can be really stupid.
"No." I said blankly. She frowned. "Why not?"
I was about to respond with something most likely rude, but Blossom cut me off. What did she have to say now?
"Bubbles, you shouldn't be in Buttercup's personal life." She said as she suddenly started drinking her tea. "If she doesn't want to tell us, then that's her choice."
I smiled. "Thank you." I said with food in my mouth. She looked at me with disgust. I smirked; I love creeping out my sisters.
I looked outside once again, it was still pouring. "Doesn't the rain look pretty?" I heard Bubbles mutter as she stared at the window as well. I looked down at my bowl of corn flakes as I stirred with my spoon.
"Yeah." I mutter as well. I soon put my spoon in my mouth. "When you're inside, I guess…" From the side of my eye, I could tell the Blossom agreed too. Sometimes, when she wasn't with dad on projects, being a workaholic or constantly being our "replacement" mother, she seemed almost like a real teenage girl. ALMOST.
I couldn't help, but think how I was going to encounter Mitch and deal with his weird feelings. I looked at the time; it was about 30 minutes before I would have to go to school. As it got closer and closer to that time, it seemed like the rain was never going to stop. It made me… poignant in a sad way.
After all, it's like when my… Never mind.
When I finished my food, I got my book bag and got into the limo. I continued to look through the window seeing that the rain was getting worse. It seemed as if time slowed down and we were going nowhere.
Once the driver stopped in front of the gates of our school, I couldn't tell if the school was in front of me at all. Like my sisters, I ran towards the school as the homeroom bell started to ring.
As we entered my sisters and I made our separate ways. I ran to my math class, for that was my homeroom teacher's room. Actually, it wasn't as boring as it sounded. There was Robin, Mitch, and some other cool people there.
While I entered the room, I sat down. I sighed; I hope no one was going to talk to me today.
"Aw," I heard an extremely annoying voice say. "Did the green powerpuff forget to bring an umbrella?" She purred.
Oh, and then there was Princess. This was sure to be a long period.
"Maybe," I said. "What's it to ya?!" I couldn't let her get to me.
"Nothing…Just asking." She said slowly. I smiled; it showed that she was becoming less and less interested. I quickly made a blank face and looked at her. She was sulking in her seat pouting. Yes! Jackpot! I wouldn't hear her voice today!
I turned around again and continued to smile.
But, then I heard chuckling, and whispers from her little posse. This can't be good. I banged my head against my desk. "Why me?" I muttered to myself.
"Utonium! You never told me you were on a date last Friday." Oh my god, here we go.
"Yeah, I was on a date." I said simply. Where was she going with this? "With Mitch Michelson… That's very interesting." A smile came on her plastic Barbie face.
"I never knew that they had a thing." Whispered one of her followers. "I didn't even know that Buttercup was attractive to begin with." Whispered the other one. I clutched my fist. My body was shaking; I was aching to hit one of them in the face. Luckily, Robin took note of this and took action.
"You need to chill Princess; it's none of your concern." She stood between me and the spoiled rich girl. I smiled; she is such a good friend. At that moment, I could feel my anger slowly drain away…
"I wasn't talking to you commoner." She hissed as she pushed Robin away. My anger came out once again. "This is between me and the powerpuff. So Buttercup…" She said sweetly. I glared.
"On your little date, I heard it didn't work out so well. Was it because you simply looked hideous or that Mitch wasn't good enough for you?"
I got out of my seat and poked her in the chest. "You don't know anything, Princess. Mitch is a cool dude and I respect him." I said to her in an icy tone. "At least, he actually wanted to go out with me, unlike the guys you go out with."
She glared at me. I knew I hit a weak spot. "Whatever." She said as the teacher walked in.
~After school~
"Buttercup!" I saw my sisters running towards me. I quickly closed my locker and let them come to me. "What do you guys want?"
"Robin sent me a text about happened between you and Princess." Bubbles gave me a hug. "I hope everything is okay…"
"Everything is fine." Wow, it seems that everyone was in my business now. "Bubbles, you can let go of me now."
She giggled. "Okay." I soon felt a hand on my shoulder. "I'm proud of you, BC." Blossom smiled. I raised an eyebrow and narrowed my eyes playfully. "Oh really, why?"
"You didn't get sent to the principal's office again." I laughed.
"Just wait until next week." I said jokingly, and a little bit serious. We all giggled once more. We started walking outside of the school. Soon something stopped me in my tracks. Mitch was standing at the front of the school gate talking to his friends. I started to walk faster; I didn't really care about my sisters because I was going to see them later anyway.
My heart was racing. I prayed: please let me be able to get home without any drama. I continued to walk faster. "Hey!" I heard Mitch say. I stopped. Please, let it be someone else.
"Buttercup- "
He didn't have to even finish his sentence, I started to run. Knowing I couldn't run on the street, I headed straight for the woods. I looked behind me to see if he was following me, but the next thing I bumped into something hard.
"OW!" We said in illusion. I guess it was someone…I rubbed my forehead and felt to see if there were any bumps. "Why don't you watch where you're going?! Jerk!" I yelled as I was still on the floor. Great! My stuff is everywhere now…
"Well, don't you see me running from someone?" He said as he was getting up and dusting his clothes off. I rolled my eyes, I was avoiding someone too. Suddenly, I felt someone staring down on me. I glanced at him. It was the same guy I met at the movie theaters… Wait! He goes to my school. Why haven't I seen him before? I stared at him.
"Um…Let me help you." He gave me his hand to take. I got out of my daze and I huffed. "Don't touch me," I said as I slapped his hand away. "I can help myself." I started to gather my things and turned the other direction to avoid anymore confrontation. However, I stopped when I heard voices.
"I think I hear voices over here!" A girl yelled. "Me too!" Sh*t, that's Mitch's voice. "Oh no!" I said as I started to panic. I'm so not in the mood for this. Ah! What was I suppose to do?
"Come and follow me." I turned to the boy behind me and stared at him in shock. Was he crazy? Follow him to where? Before I could respond he took my hand and led me through the forest. After a few minutes, we made it to the place I have never seen in my life. I was still trying to breathe try to capture everything in. This place was amazing, but of course, I wouldn't tell him that.
"Wow, what is this place?" I asked.
"It's basically my secret hiding spot." He looked up at the sun as he spoke. "I always used to come here as a kid when I felt troubled." I smiled a little; I wish I had a place to go to like this when I was a kid. But why did he take me here? I didn't know him that well, how could he trust me so easily? "Why would you take me here?" I made a serious face, I really wanted to know.
I could tell that he was taken a little back. "I did that because I thought you needed aid, so I helped you." He rubbed his neck totally uncomfortable. I narrowed my eyes. Was he telling the truth? Because the last time someone helped me, they needed something back in return.
"So, you would help a person even if you didn't know him or her?" I questioned. "Yes, of course." He raised an eyebrow.
"That's stupid." I said with a hand on my hip…Then again I do help people in need too don't I? He smiled; I soon felt heat rush to my checks. What was he so happy about?
"Then if that is I guess we shouldn't be strangers anymore." He came to me and grabbed my hand. Once again. "My name is Eddward, but my friends call me Double D."
"Um…I'm Buttercup…" He sure is formal isn't he?
"I'm glad to meet you, even though we met before." He stated smiling brightly. I let go of his hand and looked at him. My eye began to twitch. Please tell me, that I didn't meet another Blossom. God, how many people like her are in this school? I swear nerds are taking over the planet…
"Whatever…" I had my back turned away from him. "When do you think we should leave?" I was looking at the sky trying to avoid my gaze. For some reason, it made me feel weird.
"We should leave as soon as nightfall hits."
"Why?" He questioned.
"My dad's going to kill me if I don't make home by ten, no matter what happened."
"Really?" He asked. I scoffed. I bet he thought that I had a perfect little family and every day is a complete perfect fantasy. "Yeah, my father and I haven't been close lately." I muttered.
"Wow, it seems to be like that for me and my parents. Sometimes I want to just be normal with them. I just wish that they would treat me like a son instead of an employee." He looked at the ground, was he serious? I turned around. I never met someone like that before. Well, I guess Princess, but she's just a spoiled brat.
Maybe, I can chill with this dude a little bit. "It basically the same thing with my dad, I love to play sports, but he doesn't think its lady like."
"Why doesn't he think so?" He asked. It was creepy that I was freely able to tell him what was going on in my life, but if I said so, there would be some weird atmosphere between us.
"Well," I began as I looked down on the grass and laid down on it. "I think he thinks that my sisters are perfect examples of how a lady should be. One of my sisters is smart and an academic achiever, while the other one is great in the arts and sweet to the core. Since they don't really play sports or are 'somewhat rebellious', he thinks I shouldn't be either." I sighed… What was I going to do?
"You know what I think," He said as he lay down on the ground to look at the night sky, right next to me. "I believe that he just wants to protect you in a strict manner. You just have to set the boundaries with him." I closed my eyes and tried to imagine the situation. So he doesn't want to lose me, just like how he lost mom.
"You think so?" I asked as I looked at him.
"Indeed, I do." He said as I smiled. That could actually work. He didn't say anything after that, and I just had to break the silence. "And you know what I think?" I said. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What?"
"I think your mom is heartless towards you because she's scared."
"Oh, really, what could she be possibly scared of?" He asked. I thought about it and explained it deeper. "She knows that you'll 'leave the nest' one day, so if she doesn't show love towards you like a normal mother would, she believes that it wouldn't hurt as much when you leave."
We stayed a little bit after to enjoy the view.
"Thanks for the advice." He soon said. "We should get going now."
"You're right, and thank you too." I said simply as I turned my face away from his. I blushed slightly. He was so nice… TOO NICE. As we came out of the forest, we all went our separate ways. Once I came through my bedroom window to avoid confrontation. Sadly, all of them were there glaring at me impatiently.
"Hey, you guys! What's up?" I smiled nervously.
Please, tell me how you felt of the chapter.
